Mark 6 (ZGAM) · Opened

1Pwu akhahege ukhuluta khujini gwa miave, avakhongi va mwene vakhenkonga.Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples.

2Vuyefihe e Sabato, akhatengula ukhumanyisya mu sinagogi. Avanu vingi vakhampulekhe nu khudega. Vakhata, “Akavile ndahu ulumanyisyo alo?” Luhala lukhi ulwapevilwe?” Ivomba ndekhehi aga khu monokhoga mwene?”When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished. “Where did this man get these ideas?” they asked. “What is this wisdom He has been given? And how can He perform such miracles?

3Oyo si ve ola u Selemala, nswambe va Mariamu na lokhololwe lwa va Yakobo, Yose, Yuta nu Simioni? Na vakhenchavevitama pakhapa nufwe?” Yavakhovoswe nu Yiisu.Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Aren’t His sisters here with us as well?” And they took offense at Him.

4U Yiisu akhavavola, “Unyamalagosi dwadiwa, apange mjini gwa mwene na valokhololwe ava mbunchenge vwa mwene.”Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

5Pwu sakhavomba inchakhudeega apo, akhavavekhela ifivokho avatamu vadebe vakhepona.So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.

6Akhaswiga ulwa khuva savalekhwedekhe. Pwu akhavigendela ifijiji fya pawipi nu khumanyisya.And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.

7Akhavelanga avakongi kumi ne mbili akhatengula ukhuvasukha vavele vavele. Akhavapa ululagelo khu mepo imbivi,Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.

8Nu khuvalagela wasite ukhugega ekhe nu khyokhyoni vuvilula vagegage ingoma njene. Vasite ukhugega unkate, umpakho ni ndalama mufipakho;He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—

9Pwu vafyale ifikato, vasite ukhuva na magwanda gavele.and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.

10Akhavavola, “Uvenjenge vwuwoni umuyakheva mukhwingela, mtamage apo mpakha vu mwikhega.And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.

11Nu njini gyogyoni gugwa sakhuhovupilela ama nkhuvapulekhencha, mukhegege khuvene, mwekhuhune ulundukhulu lwa mmalunde genyo, kheve kheme nyekhelo khuvene.”If anyone will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that place, as a testimony against them.”

12Na vene vakhaluta nu khulumbelela avanu ukhuuta nu ukhunchilekha imbivi incha vene.So they set out and preached that the people should repent.

13Vakhavaswema imepo imbivi nu khuvabakha imono avatamu vakhapona.They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil.

14Untwa u Herode vuapolikhe ago, ulwa khuva elitawa lya Yiisu levile lemanyekhikhe. Avange vakhata, “Yohani unyalyoncho anchokhile, amakhe ni fikhwani fivomba imbombo mu mwene.”Now King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known, and people were saying, “John the Baptist has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

15Avange vakhata, “Oyo ve Eliya, “Nu avange vakhata, “Oyo ve nyamalago, alepaninie na vanyamalago avakhetale.”Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

16Pwu u Herode vu apulikhe aga akhata, “Yohani, yoywa nagedile untwe anchokhile.”But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”

17Ulwa khuva Herode yoywa alagile u Yohani ibatwe nu khukungwa khwa Herodia (udala va mbakhave va Filipo) ulwa khuva umene antolile ukhuva idala.For Herod himself had ordered that John be arrested and bound and imprisoned, on account of his brother Philip’s wife Herodias, whom Herod had married.

18Ulwa khuva u Yohani ambolile u Herode, “Lu vivi ukhuntola udala va mbakhavo.”For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”

19Pwu u Herode akhatengula ukhukalalela alekhulonda ukhumbuda, akhalemwa,So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable,

20U Herode alekhundwadwa u Yohani; alomanyile ukhuta va ye lweli munu mbalanche, pwu akhandekhe. Vwu ipikhompole khencha akhavanulususuvalo, akhahovoha ukhumpole hencha.because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man. When he heard John’s words, he was greatly perplexed; yet he listened to him gladly.

21Vwu gufikhe unsekhe vwu lekhegelile elinchuva lya khololiwa u Herode ahavandalela avakhongi va mwene, avasikhali, na valongonchi va Galileya.On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.

22Pwu umaleve va Herodia akhingela pakhonema, akhang'ovosya u Herode na vagenji avalepakhulya lyakhemihe pwu u herodeakhambula umwaleve, “Udove kyokyoni ikhevwunongwa une yanikhuhupa.”When the daughter of Herodias came and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests, and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.”

23Akhadyega ukhuta, khyokyoni khekyo yavudova, yanikhuhupa, ndageve nusu ya indeva lwango.”And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”

24Akhahoma khunji akhavoncha khwa vanina, “Nedove ekhehi?” Akhata, “Untwe ugwa Yohani.”Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”

25Unsekhe gugwa akhingila khwa nkuludeva akhatengula ukhunchova, “Ninogwa umemu sakhani, untwe gwa Yohani.”At once the girl hurried back to the king with her request: “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately.”

26Unkuludeva akhasususvala, ulwakhuva aedyegile pavageni, akhalemwa nkhubelela ekheadovile.The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.

27Pwu unkuludeva akahasuha avasikhali va mwene akhavalagela ukhuluta ukhugegela umtwe gwa Yohani. Pwu usikhali akhalota khwigeda untwe mumbokongwa.So without delay, the king commanded that John’s head be brought in. He sent an executioner, who went and beheaded him in the prison.

28Akhagega untwe gwa Yohani mu sakhani akhampa umwana, umwana akhampa uvanina.The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.

29Avakhongi va mwene vuvapulikhe ago, vakhaluta khuhogotola ufimba gwa mwene vakhaluta khusyila hulipumba.When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.

30Avasukhiwa vakhalundamano popaninie khuvolongolo khwa Yiisu, vakhambula goni agavavombile nu khuvamanyisya.Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.

31Pwu akhavavola, “Mwinchange pavotitu tugatalukhe padebe.” Avanu vingi valekhwincha nu khuhega savakhava nu unsekhe ugwa khulavukha.And He said to them, “Come with Me privately to a solitary place, and let us rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

32Pwu vakhatoga mu mbwato vakhaluta pavutitu vakhava vene.So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.

33Vakhavavona vuvikhaga, vakhavamanya pupaninie vakhanyila ulwamalonde vakhavatalela ukhunchifikha.But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.

34Vuvafikhe khu mbwani, akhavavona ava lulundamano akhavakolela ekhesa, ulwa khuva vale ndi ng'osi imbula ndoleli. Akhatengula ukhuvamanyisya imbombo inyingi.When Jesus stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.

35Emisekhe vugelulile, avakhongi vakhakonga vakhata, “Apa pale pavutitu nu usekhe gulutile.By now the hour was already late. So the disciples came to Jesus and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late.

36Welage valute khunji ni vijiji vakhagule ekyakhulya.”Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

37Pwu akhavanda akhata, “Muvape umwe ekyakhulya.” Vakhambola, “Tuwesye ukhuluta khwigula imikate igya dinari mia mbili nu khuvapa valye?”But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked Him, “Should we go out and spend two hundred denarii to give all of them bread to eat?”

38Akhavavola, “Mle nemikate gelengi? Luta mukhalole.” Vovapatile vakhambola, “Emikate gekhano ni somba ivele.”“Go and see how many loaves you have,” He told them. And after checking, they said, “Five—and two fish.”

39Akhavalagela avanu vatame mu fipuga mu manyasi amigu.Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.

40Vakhavatamekha mu fipuga; mu fipuga fya mamia khu hamsini.So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

41Pwu akhatola emikhate gekhano ni somba ivele, pwu akhalolakhukyanya akhagesaya, pwu akhavapa avakongi vavekhe mbulongolo pa lulundamano. Pwu akhagava isomba ivele khu vanu voni.Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke the loaves. Then He gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And He divided the two fish among them all.

42Vakhalya voni vakhakwila.They all ate and were satisfied,

43Vakhalundania imikate emimenyule egesigile, vikhadega ifitondu kumi na mbili, ni somba inchi menyuliwe.and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.

44Vale avagosi elfu tano avalile emikate.And there were five thousand men who had eaten the loaves.

45Pwu akhavavola ukhuta vatoge mu mbwato valote khuvunge, vakhaluta khuabethsaida, vu ikhelaga nu vanya lulundamano.Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.

46avuvakhegile, akhaluta khukyomba khudova.After bidding them farewell, He went up on the mountain to pray.

47vuyevile lyakhemile, uwato vwu vulepagati mu nyanja, umwene ale mwene khumwambo.When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on land.

48Akhavavova vovigatanchiwa mu mbwato ulwa khuva imepo nchilikhuvasiga, vuvulepakhwikya akhavalotela, alekhugenda nkyanya munyanja, akhonogwa ukhulutaniche.He could see that the disciples were straining to row, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea. He intended to pass by them,

49Pwu vuvambwene igenda nkyanya mu magasi, vakhava nuludwadwa vakhata pamo misyokha pwu vakhaywega.but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost—

50Ulwa khuva vambwene vakhava nululundamano. Pwu akhanchova akhavavola, “Muve vakhangafu! Nene! Msite ukhudwada.”for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

51Akhingela mu mbwaro, imepo yekhelekhelwa unkhuluguto, pwu vakhadega lweli.Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,

52Pwu vakhava saveliwe elimenyu lya mikate. Ulwa khuva inyala nchavene nchale ndebe.for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.

53Vovalowikhe khumwambo, vakhafikha ekhelunga ekhya Genesareti pwu uwato vakhema.When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.

54Vovakhomile khunji khuwato, pwu vakhamanya.As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus

55Vakhanyila khulumbelela mu khelunga vakhatengula ukhuvagega avatamu mu fisanja, khela vuvapulikhe ukhuta ikhwincha.and ran through that whole region, carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was.

56Popone opoaingile mu vijiji, ana mijini, amamukhelunga vakhavavekha avatamu upovigonchekhecha, vakhadova edekhe ukhwibata eligwanda lya mwene. Voni vavo vamwibite vakhapona.And wherever He went—villages and towns and countrysides—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
